Build a Dream Dynasty

Chapter 314: Injuries Strike

Jiang Mingliang's transformation of Inter Milan is proceeding in an orderly manner, and Kenyon's negotiations for the main sponsor of the team's jersey next season will soon enter the finals. Marr's main sponsor, Nike, originally had a huge advantage. However, Nike's bid for Inter Milan is only 20 million euros, which is far from the 30 million euros requested by the team. Considering that Nike has Barcelona, ​​Manchester United, Arsenal, and Juventus, it is not difficult to understand that Inter Milan is not so active.

Although Adidas was far away from Nike in the competition for various markets, Adidas still insisted on its own advantages in the football field. Poaching Inter Milan from the Nike camp is obviously also an influence on itself. An improvement, however, Adidas failed to give a reasonable amount in terms of price tag, at least, compared with the two finalists, there is some distance, and Kenyon also voluntarily abandoned it.

NB and Puma have become Inter Milan's latest considerations. After Kering Group acquired Puma, Puma's plan to transform into a sports luxury product was implemented in an orderly manner, but it lost its market in the sports industry step by step. The failure of transformation, strategic confusion, and unclear positioning greatly affected Puma's market share. The state of an avalanche is falling rapidly. In this case, it is acceptable for them to buy a horse bone with a thousand dollars. As for NB, NB's Warriors Sports sponsored Liverpool, which has really tasted the sweetness. Next season, NB is ready to transfer the sponsorship contract with Liverpool to NB. It also has a large number of fans worldwide. Milan is also a good option. What's more, the managers of NB have studied Jiang Mingliang's business ideas and are more optimistic that Inter Milan will walk on the right path under his leadership.

The basic sponsorship fee is priced at 30 million. Jiang Mingliang and Kenyon did not intend to continue raising the price, but focused on the promotion of these two brands and the ability to feed back Inter Milan's own brand value. For example, the design level of the product, the ability to publicize and distribute, the layout of stores around the world, and the positioning of the team in the brand, etc.

Compared with the giant status of Nike and Adidas, relatively speaking, NB and Puma have their own strengths and weaknesses. At this time, NB gave a bargaining chip that is extremely important to Inter Milan at this stage, a credit certificate of 100 million euros.

The credit certificate of 100 million euros is actually a loan of 100 million euros from the Inter Milan club to the bank, and NB, as the guarantor of this money, Jiang Mingliang plans to use this 100 million euros as part of the funds for the construction of the new stadium.

Serving as an intermediate guarantor does not have much impact on NB. In case something happens, Jiang Mingliang may be able to run away, but the Inter Milan club will not disappear, and the club is worth more than 100 million euros, so NB does not have to worry about 100 million euros flying away. Moreover, Jiang Mingliang's loan fee is also a real investment in building a new stadium, not buying players, and the risk will not be great.

The intentional contract was basically reached, but neither Inter Milan nor NB announced it to the public at the first time.

. . . . . .

On January 5th, the Nets ushered in the second consecutive game against the Hornets. The two sides moved to the Continental Airlines Center Arena to compete. The process of the game was as easy as the previous game. They had a score advantage of 12 points and firmly took the initiative in the game. However, in the third quarter, the Nets suffered successive blows. First, the old injured Lopez sprained his knee again. Objectively speaking, injuries are not what the players would like to see. Jiang Mingliang shouldn’t have any opinion on this, but when he thought about Lopez’s firm attitude when he asked for the maximum salary, and compared his attendance rate with Jiang Mingliang was still a little upset about the performances of other centers in the league. In addition to Lopez, Harrison Barnes also injured his finger in a fast break in the third quarter of the game and had no choice but to be replaced. Although the Nets finally defeated the Hornets 102:85, a miserable victory also made the team unhappy.

According to the post-match inspection results, Lopez had a slight sprain in his left knee and would need to miss two to three weeks of the game, while Barnes had a fractured finger and had to rest for at least two weeks.

The wing position lost Barnes as a rotation point, and Korver, as well as Severosa, Livingston can also stand up, and it can still hold on. The inside line lost Lopez, the main center and capable With Barnes at the top of the power forward position, there are only 4 players left in the Nets. Stevens also proposed to sign a temporary top player during the communication with West. inside player.

Soon, West found a viable candidate, the No. 19 rookie in 2005, Hakeem Warrick.

This power forward, who was just cut by the Magic, is a typical jumping man with pretty good physical fitness. During the NCAA period, Warrick, who played for Syracuse University, was also Pippen next to Anthony. However, after entering the NBA, Warrick's overall performance was relatively mediocre. It cannot be said that the team he played for did not give him a chance. The Grizzlies once cultivated him as a main player, and after Stoudemire left the Suns, the Suns also signed him. He hopes that he can replace Stoudemire. However, apart from running and jumping talents, Warrick does not have many other advantages, which also prevents him from achieving any results in the NBA.

A ten-day short contract, it would be good to be able to perform dunks on stage during garbage time. After notifying Jiang Mingliang who was far away in Milan, Will Craig offered the contract and signed the temporary worker.

Warrick's first game on behalf of the Nets happened to be a live broadcast across the United States. The Nets went to an away game against the No. 1 Spurs in the West. It is really a bad thing for Stevens to usher in such a strong enemy without the inside general. Some adjustments were made to the lineup. Both Parker and Ginobili in the GDP combination missed the game due to physical reasons. As for the reason, Parker had a tight hip muscle and Ginobili had stomach cramps. . . . . .

From this point of view, it is obvious that they are making excuses, but on the one hand, the Spurs have a good record, and the players on the team's bench have also performed well. The team has this confidence. The team really needs to rotate the lineup during the busy schedule, otherwise, these old hands and old legs really can't stand such a high-intensity competition system. Even if it is broadcast live across the United States, the league has chosen to turn a blind eye. No penalty arrangements were made.
